September 10, 2025 – New York, NY – Teads (NASDAQ: TEAD), the omnichannel outcomes platform for the open internet, today announced the promotion of Alex Savic to Managing Director of Europe and MENA as the company strengthens its commercial organization for global growth. In this expanded leadership role, Savic will oversee all commercial operations across key markets in Europe and the Middle East and North Africa, while continuing to serve as Teads’ global commercial lead for Teads Ad Manager (TAM).
Over 12 years at Teads, Savic has held several strategic roles across the company’s global footprint—including Managing Director for Switzerland and Austria, Head of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and DACH, and most recently, adding oversight of LATAM and Israel to his remit following the merger between Outbrain and Teads. His deep experience and track record of execution make him well-positioned to lead the region through its next phase of growth.
“As we scale globally, we are focused on clarity, accountability, and senior leadership that can drive performance across markets while elevating outcomes for our clients,” said David Kostman, Chief Executive Officer of Teads. “Alex has earned the trust of teams and clients alike through his consistent leadership, deep market knowledge, and unwavering commitment to results. I’m confident that under his leadership, Europe and MENA will continue to thrive as we deliver greater impact and value across the open internet.”
Bertrand Quesada, Co-President and Chief Business Officer at Teads, added:
“Alex is an exceptional leader with deep roots in our business and an impressive global lens. His passion for innovation and client impact, especially in the rollout of TAM, makes him the right person to lead this region into our next chapter.”
“I’m honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Teads. We have an incredible team and a strong foundation across Europe and MENA, and I’m excited to help accelerate our growth by delivering even more value to our clients and partners,” said Savic. “As we scale TAM 2.0 and deepen our agency and brand relationships, I look forward to driving accelerated growth across the region.”
In his new role as Managing Director of Europe and MENA, Savic will report directly to Bertrand Quesada, Co-President and Chief Business Officer at Teads. He will also work closely with regional and global leadership to advance Teads’ strategic priorities and deliver long-term value for clients and partners.
